The production process of the lyocell fiber developed by taking N-methylmorpholine oxide NMMO as a solvent system has no industrial pollution, low energy consumption, simple process, excellent fiber performance and biodegradability after the product is discarded.

However, the preparation process of the lyocell fiber is a pure physical process, and the requirements on raw pulp are very strict. The cellulose fibers currently produced using the lyocell process are also limited to dedicated dissolving pulp sources (e.g., sappi pulp or cosmo pulp). The problems of poor spinnability, poor spinning fiber performance and the like when lyocell fiber spinning is carried out are caused by the large difference of the raw material characteristics, the using degree and the impurity content of the waste cotton textiles.
